 FOOD PRICES
 A recent report by "Save the Children" states that 1.6 million children in the UK are living in extreme poverty because of huge increases in the cost of energy, petrol and food. Last year over 61,000 people across the UK turned to food banks for help.
And Cameron continues to borrow money to increase the UK's aid to 3rd world.
Is the man mad? Ed.

For the first time ever, foreigners now own more office space in the City of London than domestic landlords. The UK owns 48%, down from 92% in 1980. Germany owns 16% (up from 1%) and the USA owns 10% (up from 0%). FT

We are all familiar with the term “Darwinism” for the evolution of species by natural selection. Should Chancellor George Osborne’s banking reforms be entitled “Goodwinism” – the restructuring of banks by government selection, lest we forget Sir Fred’s contribution to the UK banking sector?

UNDERSTANDING MOSLEMS

Two things that we have to understand about Moslems are:
1. That they are deeply divided - at least as divided as Christianity was during the Reformation. What unites them is having a hate figure - us.
2. They are deeply insecure, both psychologically and economically.
 Most of the world's wealth is still in the West. In the Middle East most of the wealth is still in the hands of oligarchic elites. Who mainly support or supported, guess who, yes, us. Iran is a special case. It overthrew its Western puppet leader three decades ago. In some ways its a touchstone for the way things might go elsewhere, but democracy there, though seriously wounded, is not dead yet.

Things are going to get a lot worse before they get better as regards our relations with the Moslem world. In the short term democratization - stumbling as it is - will lead to an intensification of anti-Western feeling. But we just have to grin and bear it, there is no quick fix. Let's just remember: in their calendar it's still the 15th century.

'Wave' good-bye to Windmills?

At the SNP Conference Alex Salmond told delegates, "We now know that oil and gas will last for the next 50 years and there is also tidal power, wave power and wind power and years and years of coal reserves so it is imperative that we gain control of it".

He wanted a low carbon economy and 100 per cent from renewables by 2020 to the detriment of fossil fuels such as gas, oil and coal.

He now wants to use gas and oil and coal.

Confused? I am!

With all this energy why continue with expensive, useless, subsidised wind turbines??

Scotland has 2600 MW capacity of wind turbines turbines and England and Wales1250 MW capacity operational.

The subsidies paid to developers are included in our energy bills.

Come Independence who is going to pay for these subsidies for Scottish wind farms that are presently paid by consumers in England and Wales??

There is growing speculation that the Government is on the verge of cutting the multibillion-pound financial incentives for onshore wind farms and solar panels on houses.

Hope it happens.

Britain's "Islamic Emirates Project"
Hudson, New York 22 July 2011
By Soeren Kern

A Muslim group in the United Kingdom has launched a campaign to turn twelve British cities – including what it calls "Londonistan" – into independent Islamic states. The so-called Islamic Emirates would function as autonomous enclaves ruled by Islamic Sharia law and operate entirely outside British jurisprudence.

The Islamic Emirates Project, launched by the Muslims Against the Crusades group, names the British cities of Birmingham, Bradford, Derby, Dewsbury, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, Luton, Manchester, Sheffield, as well as Waltham Forest in northeast London and Tower Hamlets in East London as territories to be targeted for blanket Sharia rule.
The project, which uses the motto "The end of man-made law, and the start of Sharia law," was launched exactly six years after Muslim suicide bombers killed 52 people and injured 800 others in London. A July 7, 2011 announcement posted on the Muslims Against the Crusades website, states:
"In the last 50 years, the United Kingdom has transformed beyond recognition. What was once a predominantly Christian country has now been overwhelmed by a rising Muslim population, which seeks to preserve its Islamic identity, and protect itself from the satanic values of the tyrannical British government.

"There are now over 2.8 million Muslims living in the United Kingdom – which is a staggering 5% of the population. ..... "In light of this glaring fact, Muslims Against Crusades have decided to launch "The Islamic Emirates Project," that will see high profile campaigns launch in Muslim enclaves all over Britain, with the objective to gradually transform Muslim communities into Islamic Emirates operating under Shari'ah law.

One of the group's strategy documents, "Islamic Prevent 2011: Preventing Secular Fundamentalism and the Occupation of Muslim Land," provides insights into the religious and/or philosophical mindset behind the Islamic Emirates Project.
For example, Chapter 1 states: "The Only Identity for Muslims is Islam … In no shape or form can a Muslim support any form of nationalism such as promoting Britishness."  
We have been warned!!

Palestinians need help to establish a viable self-sustaining economy. 
 
It does not help that MSP Kevin Stewart has tabled a motion in the Scottish Parliament commending the Aberdeen Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign's Wall Walkers who will walk along Hadrian's Wall to 'highlight' criticism of Israel's 'separation wall' which has virtually stopped suicide-bombers from entering Israel. The motion is supported by MSPs, David Torrance, Adam Ingram, Joan McAlpine, Patrick Harvie, Bob Doris, Mark McDonald, Sandra White, Dennis Robertson, Joe Fitzpatrick, Paul Wheelhouse, and John Finnie.
 Nor does it help when MSP "flotilliars", boycotters, divesters and now Hadrian's Wall walkers, the incredible in pursuit of the gullible, move against Israel ostensibly to support the Palestinians but actually helping to prolong and complicate the conflict. The ultimate intention as contained in the Hamas Charter is to destroy Israel, any support for Hamas. as by these MSPs, can only have the same intention.
 Israel is well placed and qualified to help as illustrated by its economic performance. A White Paper, March 2011, encourages partnership between British and Israeli companies. The UK's bilateral trade with Israel amounted to £2.63 billion in 2010, an increase of 31% over 2009.
 Over 300 Israeli companies have set up in the UK.
There are more Israeli companies listed on the NASDAQ exchange than companies from the whole of Europe. Venture capital investments per head in Israel were 2.5 times greater than in America and more than 30 times greater than in Europe.
 Israel's population of less than 8 million attracted around $2 billion in venture capital which equals that received by the UK's 61 million population.
 It is a no-brainer that economic development for the Palestinians is a precursor to peace. Israel could help that development.
 
All that is needed is for Hamas to drop its religious requirement to destroy Israel and to stop the rocket attacks.
 
There can be no peace until that happens and until then the "flotilliars", the boycotters, the divesters, and the wall-walkers will, no doubt, continue on their misguided way, making a bad situation worse.

powerless to deliver petrol

How welcome the announcement that the drivers on Scotlands Islands will, after March next year be delivered a reduction on fuel duty of 5p a litre.

Unfortunately it was not in the power of the Scottish Government to deliver this concession, or indeed the British Government, but the final verdict had to wait until granted, finally. by the European Union in Brussels.

That our own politicians could not deliver a small adjustment in the price of petrol, without scurrying to Brussels demonstrates how helpless and powerless our politicians are, and our country has become has become under European law.
 
I despair for our nation, who will stand up to the EU? The 'Independence' craved for by the SNP is derisory and meaningless whilst they are committed to the EU. Lib Dems would even now,have us adopt the Euro, Labour and Conservative consort with Brussels

Looking around it seems the only political party which will deliver us from EU membership, and which has campaigned since 1993 to withdraw from membership is The United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP).

Perhaps their time has now come.

NEW FIFE ??
 Sir, Fiona Purnell's article "Dawn of a New Fife" in a recent FFP demonstrates the generosity of Fifers when called upon to help those less fortunate than ourselves. Who cannot be moved by the scenes of deprivation and disasters in countries such as Pakistan and Somaliland?
  While not wishing to rain on Messrs Brown and Sarwar's admirable parade there is a serious issue to this aid programme which troubles me which should be highlighted, and that is the persecution of Christians in Pakistan, particularly in the Punjab region which has already reached alarming new levels. Muslim clerics are calling for the Bible to be banned, claiming it is blasphemous against their prophet Mohammed.
  The Federal government has abolished the Federal Ministry of Religious Minorities thereby increasing the risk of violence against Christians by radical Muslims misuse of the country's blasphemy laws. Pakistani Christians are now living in fear; every year hundreds of non-Muslims are subjected to terror, rape and murder simply for practicing their faith.
  Lahore the capital of Punjab has long been a hotbed of radical Islam where Asia Bibe, a mother of five, was sentenced to death for blasphemy against Mohammed in November last year, many believe she will be assassinated in her jail cell before her appeal can be heard.
  Normally when the aid reaches these parts non-Muslims are last in line to receive the benefits. This discrimination must end and should not be tolerated in a country which claims to be civilised, and while I do support aid to countries which are genuinely in need I would
feel more comfortable if our politicians were in the headlines for campaigning against theological discrimination in tandem with their appeals for aid.
Yours, Dan Arnott

WEAPON OF MASS TAXATION!

I read the letter from Dr Richard Dixon of WWF Scotland thanking people for the £87,000 they received via the People's Postcode Lottery.

He would since it contributes to his large salary.
The Great Global Warming Scam keeps him in a job.
I saw a beautiful photograph of the polar bear cub riding on it's mother's back.
Then I read the caption, which said that researchers believed that this is the result of bears having to swim longer distances because of reductions in the Artic ice.
I should have known that WWF were behind this absurd statement.
Researchers funded by WWF will always spout green propaganda since their funds and hence salaries depend on this.
Readers will remember the iconic polar bear in the Al Gore's scare mongering film "An Inconvenient Truth" which said that the polar bear was facing extinction.
Deliberately emotive language.
Dr Michael Taylor a renowned polar bear expert has studied these animals for 30 years and proved that numbers are now much higher than 30 years ago.
Now that is "An Inconvenient Truth".
The public, which includes impressionable children, are being brainwashed and climate change is now, I suggest, "a weapon of mass taxation".  CLARK
